OMG - I am 50 is about my preppy journey into my next decade. I can't believe that I have left my 40's, when I still feel 25 inside. Experience the daily joys, laughter and tears as I face teenagers, college students, second husbands, friendships, aging parents, changing careers, body changes, empty nest and so much more. Join me on my journey - "OMG - I am 50" - heck it is better than the alternative ;-)

Hello Again, Friends!!!

It's really been a long time since my last post. I apologize for just falling off the way I did. Unfortunately, my Mother's health started to deteriorate even more and she passed away on July 5. As I often say, "She transitioned into heaven, just as the sun was beginning to rise." I miss her terribly, but I am happy for her that she is free. She was really looking forward to reuniting with her parents, siblings and her husband, my Dad. I know she is with them and for me, it gives the term, "communion of saints" an entirely new meaning! Thank you for your support for the last year!

I didn't go back to work this year, I am doing some consulting, some mediating, and being a stay at home wife. I am exercising and trying to take care of me. Not in a selfish way, but in a self preservation way ;-)

"Baron" and I visited South Haven, Michigan last weekend to enjoy a fall weekend at Lake Michigan.
It was wonderful! We stayed at our favorite B&B - The Yelton Manor. It is so relaxing with wonderful food and atmosphere.

I can't say that I will be blogging everyday, but I look forward to reconnecting with each of you!
I hope this post has found you all happy and healthy! All the best today and always!

It is nice to see you here again after such a long time! Sorry about your mom, it is a very, very hard loss. Sounds like you took some much needed time for R&R, and things are starting to look up again. :)Happy days to you!Katrina

About Me

I am a “happy and lucky” woman living in the “midwest” with my oil "Baron" husband and our rescued, now spoiled dog, Berk. (The two men in my life - Baron and Berk). We have an empty nest. I lived on the east coast for 20 plus years. After divorce and two daughters, we (kids and I) moved back to my hometown where I was reacquainted with and eventually married my soul mate. All those years apart, we now have so much catching up to do.I love all things Lilly. I have a special place in my heart for the water. I believe in Fate and Karma. Fall and Spring are my favorite times of year. I can’t live without a hot stone massages, pedicures, online shopping, pink nail polish, pilates, jack rogers sandals and fresh flowers. I love antiques and decorating. Come along with me, as I juggle the desire for endless vacationing, coping with my empty nest, finding myself (again), dealing with my mother's dementia, and all the things that life throws all of us. Though my story is not unique - come along for the ride, at least you will have a good laugh!
